Things I'm excited about!

Things I'm excited about this Monday:

Making cute meals - on a whim I got out my bento supplies last night to make myself breakfast this morning! I have these cute hard boiled egg molds that I have NEVER used, and I was like "Its TIME!!" haha - I'm so glad I finally did. I really like how the bunny turned out - I need to practice a little more at peeling eggs while they are hot though so it's has a smoother surface.

Angelic Pretty's Cinema Doll collection - I'm really excited about this collection! I've never really bought lolita brand clothes before, but this is really cute and I think it would go well with stuff in my wardrobe already... I'm contemplating saving up for it!

Kamikaze Girls - After looking through EGL sales on LJ and getting excited about the new Angelic Pretty collection I'm now really wanting to watch this again. I might do it tonight!!

Turntable.fm - I found out about this through my boyfriend... It's a website and iphone app where people DJ music, and it's set up into different rooms for different genre's of music. My favorites are the ambient chillout, coding soundtrack and dubstep. I tend to listen to it while driving (Not with headphones! My car has bluetooth) or at home on the computer while I do stuff. It's awesome!! New music all the time :D

Big changes in my city - a lot of progress is being made on the Beltline (a huge pedestrian/cycling path and light-rail system project), the Atlanta Streetcar project is also making way and will be done in less than a year, Ponce City Market (another huge Atlanta project) just opened their first shop: Dancing Goats coffee and I can't wait to check it out!! And then there is also the huge Living Walls mural project which is happening all around where I live. Such exciting times for our city!

Learning a foreign language - Right now I'm learning the basics of Japanese hiragana and then around October I am going to start taking classes if all goes well! It's in preparation for our trip to Japan in October 2013!! When we went to France in 2008 I made a promise to myself that if I ever traveled to another country again I'd make the effort to learn the language before hand... I decided this because I always wanted to learn French but never made the effort because I thought I wouldn't get to use it - and then boom I went to France! So never say never - It's always fun to try and learn new things too :)

Planning an epic girls trip to SF! I miss my girlfriends in New York and it sounds like we might plan an awesome girls trip to San Francisco together!! Fingers crossed it happens this December.

My outfit today - Last but not least, I'm excited about what I'm wearing!! It's really casual, but the shirt is new and I adore the print. I bought it second hand from EGL sales and it's from the brand "Banana Fish" which is no longer in business (Sad!!) but they made amazing clothes.
